Agree-abilities

While we may not agree on all things like clothing, hair style, make-up colors or make-up at all, one thing we do agree on is....



CHOCOLATE


I am thrilled, that everyone in this system agrees on chocolate. If we can't find anything to agree on, we always eat a piece to remind ourselves that we do have a few things in common.

White chocolate? Dark Chocolate? Milk Chocolate? Chocolate and fruit? Chocolate and nuts? Chocolate gravy? Mole? Chocolate Liquor?

As I type this, I'm asking everyone a "Yes" or "No" I've yet to hear a "No" even from the health nuts. After all, we all eat chocolate for the magnesium and anti-oxidants right? Right. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. HA! I'm getting "Amens!" from the inside. Sometimes I really wish others could hear the conversations going on in my head. It would be a comedic relief to some and a sad sad book to others. OH well, it is what it is.

Feeling a bit better these days. I've had company back to back - which I love and didn't know I would. It's been a surprise really to so enjoy hosting people in my little abode when I'm so NOT the social butterfly. My fabulous new doctor whom I discovered by accident...literally, we ran into each other in the hall way... doubled my medication. It makes me nauseaus, but I really do think it's helping slowly but surely. I'm trying to see if I can tell a difference between whether or not it's the medication or if it's the wonderful company that I've had here lately.

My current company is also DID and has been at the healing process for 20 years. 12 of which she took a break. She works with my same therapist and has traveled thousands of miles to be here. I'm so glad, she's such a help to me. The majority of the team is very comfortable around her and comfortable talking to her knowing that she understands to a depth that few in my face-to-face world could. She's been such a support and tremendous resource of information - she knows things before I tell her and can often put into words, with explanation, things that I am experiencing now. I hope she writes a book. We need a DID for Newly Diagnosed Dummies - wouldn't that be a great idea for some of you writers??? eh?

Ah, tonight we're curling up with the sweetest chee-waa-waa on earth and chillaxin with some chocolate. Crossing my fingers that when we close the eyes to sleep, we're not met with violent terrors of the imagination, but a peaceful rest - chocolatey smooth and chocolatey rich. mmmmm Yummy!
